iPhone won't let you use anything other than iTunes through Apple Car Play. It's super dangerous as fuck, too, because iTunes won't let you pick songs from a playlist using Car Play. You have to look away from driving, pick up the phone, unlock it, open iTunes, browse for the song on the phone's screen, and then select it on the phone.
Carplay is gay. Aux port and cupphone yeaaahhh
I wouldn't know.. last time I used the phone to play music in the car I did it through the audio jack aux port. Mostly just burn CDs. CDs almost never piss me off. Car supports mp3 CDs, which is nice.
It's nicer to have your entire music collection browsable and playable. My car can do it from a USB stick, but the morons only put one USB port in the car, so if you want to use Android Auto/Car Play for navigation you can't listen to your thumb drive music.
Couldn't you use an external hard drive? My old car stereo had a usb port in the back. I ran it to the glovebox where I kept an external hard drive.
I still have a CD binder in my car. Every month or three I'll burn another mix and simply label it with the month and year.
CD's do get scratched up eventually and skip in places, but it's also safer to just hit Skip on the dash rather than attempt anything on a phone while driving.
